  During his youth, the boy who would become C. S. Lewis formed his most basic impressions and tastes regarding music, art, literature, religion, sports, friendship, imagination, education, war, and more. The issues young "Jack" Lewis wrestled with drove him toward the foundation on which his life would be built. His childhood interests, influences, longings, struggles, and even failures prepared him to engage his gifts as a writer, teacher, and friend.
  Lewis expert Harry Lee Poe unfolds young Jack's key relationships, hobbies, spiritual conflicts, decisions, desires, and dreams. Along the way, Poe points out where these themes reappear in Lewis's later works—bringing to life the importance of his conversion and his surprising discovery of joy.

  Simone Weil (1909–1943) stands as one of the most profound and unique thinkers of the 20th century, whose philosophy blends the intellectual rigor of traditional philosophy with the depth of mysticism, spirituality, and social activism. Despite her relatively short life, Weil’s work has had a lasting impact on diverse fields, including philosophy, theology, politics, and social theory. Her exploration of the concepts of gravity and grace forms the core of her intellectual legacy, offering a powerful lens through which to understand human suffering, freedom, and the potential for spiritual transformation. 
  At the heart of Weil’s philosophy is the concept of gravity, a metaphor she uses to describe the pull of the material world, which she believes leads to the oppression and suffering of individuals. Gravity represents the forces of self-centeredness, alienation, and the weight of human desires, which trap individuals in their own limitations and separation from the divine. It is the force that binds human beings to their own egos, making them blind to the higher truths of existence. 
  In stark contrast, grace in Weil’s thought is the force that can liberate individuals from the constraints of gravity. Unlike gravity, grace is not something humans can control or earn through effort. It is a divine gift that transcends human will and brings about a spiritual awakening. Grace enables individuals to experience a higher level of freedom—freedom from the self and from the oppression of the material world. For Weil, grace is central to human existence, as it offers the possibility of redemption and spiritual transformation.
